Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The rostral ventrolateral medulla is an important center for the regulation of sympathetic and cardiovascular activities.

We aimed to determine the mechanism behind elevated blood pressure in hypertensive patients with compression of the rostral ventrolateral medulla and to...
